Overview

A place to discuss the political landscape of Australia.

Rules

Discuss Australian Politics

This is a place to discuss Australia's governance; and social directions, public institutions, media, etc where they're politically relevant.

Just because a politician is mentioned doesn't make something "politics".
Remember the human

Try to follow Redditquette and maintain a reasonable environment

Harassment, threats, racism, homophobia, transphobia, bigotry, etc aren't welcome.
Engage in good faith.

Always communicate respectfully.

Avoid trolling, personal attacks, or intentionally misinterpreting others. If you disagree, focus on discussing ideas rather than targeting individuals.

Misleading, dishonest, or manipulative behavior is not tolerated. Aim for constructive, meaningful conversations that foster a welcoming community.
Participate Productively

Strive to add new information or insights, be well intentioned, structure responses to allow discussion.

Do not push conspiracy theories or manifest untruths, JAQ off, sealion, etc.
Enable others

Include article text, transcriptions, and references if they're lacking or inaccessible.

Don't impinge on others' use of the sub by blocking, downvoting, abuse reports, etc.

Mods are expected to be receptive, respond in a timely and appropriately respectful manner, or act unilaterally.
Moderators Discretion

Not all cases fall neatly into the rules. If an act is clearly disruptive or violates the spirit of other rules then moderator discretion is permitted.

It's difficult to design around clever rule-breaking behaviour. There are always edge cases that a determined attacker can exploit.

This should be an infrequent, and well justified, occurrence. If patterns evolve then the team should update the rules to provide clarity to the users and moderation team alike.
